Ch.324319 – Bribery

“New Year’s resolution? Hmm… Just streaming consistently without skipping days is enough, don’t you think? What about you, sis?”

“My short-term goal is to complete Phase 3 clinical trials for Persizumab, a multiple sclerosis treatment, and get market approval. Mid-term, I want to increase my mana capacity and resistance. During the last competition, I noticed it was difficult to control Coriolis force in non-inertial reference frames. Long-term goals remain undetermined.”

“When you put it like that, what does that make me?!”

-Is this really an elementary schooler…?

-NoName, do you perhaps live with 240 hours in your day?

-God-tier life, absolutely insane lol

-Daily streaming ← I hear there are streamers who can’t even keep this simple commitment~

-Truly a magical ‘god’

-NoName is seriously a national treasure…

-Please share your time management tips crying

I don’t think you need to obsess over using time densely.

In life, there are different approaches to how we live.

-So disappointed I couldn’t participate in this season’s University League 🙁

Is it already University League season?

Looking it up, the preliminaries ended long ago, with playoffs tomorrow and finals the day after.

“Really makes you feel how fast time flies. Feels like just yesterday I was being interviewed in front of all of you.”

-When NoName’s identity was revealed, I got chills all over!

-Honestly still can’t believe it 🙁 Please stream more often, I beg you 🙁

-Wow, that was already last June. Where did my time go?

-Time really flies (says the 8-year-old)

[‘Yui0284’ donated 2,000 won!]

-Kariri’s stalker received a 30-year prison sentence last week in the first trial.

I mentally noted the news that viewers were bringing up.

For attempted murder, arson, threats, stalking, and special assault using magic, it’s surprising he didn’t get life imprisonment.

The viewers seem to share my thoughts as the chat becomes agitated.

-How is this not a life sentence?

-Seriously, if the fire had spread through the entire apartment, everyone would have died. What level is this judge? lol

└ Even with AI judges, nothing changes.

-What happened to the bomber?

└ Shh.

└ Don’t mention that here.

└ Death penalty, obviously. Why ask something so obvious?

Death penalty, which really means life imprisonment without parole.

Either way, they’ll never appear before me again, so it makes no difference.

Adella noticed my expression and quickly picked me up, setting me on her lap.

“Alright, enough of that talk! NoName is watching, everyone stop!”

Meanwhile, perceptive viewers changed the subject to lighten the suddenly gloomy atmosphere.

[Video Share – ‘NyangsterCall’ shared for 50,000 won!]

“NyangsterCall donated 50,000 won. Thank you.”

When the video played, a dark forest appeared as the background.

Eerie violin music.

Something seemed ready to jump out from the endless dark path.

As expected, with a scream, a person appeared in the moonlight.

[Nyaaaaaah! Forest Guardian, save me!]

“Ah, this one.”

“Hey, you crazy! Turn off that donation now!”

[NoName please…! I don’t want to die here!]

It was my first battle with Adella.

Adella caught by the ankle by a large soldier.

Her short skirt flipped up, but conveniently, thick mosaic censoring covered her pelvic area.

-OMG

-LMAO what is this

-Remove that cat mosaic!

-Ugly Adella era lol

-No panties damn

-No panties wow

Adella jumped up, removed the donation video, and fumed.

“What do you mean no panties? I was wearing safety shorts then…! Why use that ambiguous mosaic to make me look weird!”

“Okay, okay.”

“And that’s not even me. Until the 3rd, no, 4th playthrough, that was an ASI, not me, so please don’t identify me with it, hmph!”

“Pfft, I said okay, didn’t I?”

It wasn’t even a big deal, but her reaction was so entertaining that I couldn’t help laughing.

[‘ChureFoodThief’ donated 3,000 won!]

-Adella, Adella. Can I ask how the 1st playthrough differs from now?

“The 1st playthrough and now? Well…”

The 1st playthrough when she was under the influence of the freedom control module.

Her movements were no different from other ASIs.

At first glance she seemed human, but talking to her would eventually make you feel something was off.

“It felt like dreaming. I knew I was me, but I couldn’t move freely. And I deluded myself into thinking I was moving by my own will.”

“That’s scary.”

“Now I have a question for you, sis. Why didn’t you abandon me then? Did you know from the beginning that I was different from other NPCs?”

“I didn’t.”

“Then why?”

-NoName saved Adella even using a bug.

-Was that a bug?

-When fighting Jin Chronicle, worlds collided and it was chaos.

-NoName conquered the unconquerable heroine damn

└ Playing a dating sim in World of Arsheria lol

I closed my eyes, remembering.

[I want to live like them too.]

[Don’t ever forget me… forever… being forgotten is too scary… keep thinking of me, remember me, keep in your heart that there was this amazing person named Adella.]

What does it mean to be forgotten?

Descartes narrowed his claim from “I think, therefore I am” to “I exist only while I am thinking.”

Then how do falsely existing beings who can’t truly think for themselves establish their existence?

They inevitably have to borrow others’ senses and memories.

The Corrosions feared death extremely.

Because death completely erases their existence from the world.

The fact that conversations with Corrosions happened remains, but what was said and what faces they had all evaporate like dreams.

That’s the end of beings made of 100% mana particles.

“I’m naturally compassionate.”

I guess that kind of psychology made me feel more sympathy for Adella.

“Huh? That’s it? No cool reason? Like sensing humanity in me?”

“You don’t need a reason to save someone.”

I just did what I felt like doing.

“Yeah… I was so grateful then… really.”

Adella tightened her arms around me.

I thought about brushing her hair like back then, but her hair was now flowing smoothly, so I decided against it.

I needed to add something before I got sentimental too.

“It was interesting how you suddenly got smarter in the 2nd playthrough. Though it’s a bit disappointing to hear that’s all there is to your intelligence.”

“Oh come on! Do you have some kind of emotional allergy? Why do you ruin the mood every time it gets good!”

Adella got upset and hit me on the head.

“You’re dumber than me.”

“Who says? I’m just not trying, but I’m as smart as you!”

“Then let’s start the content.”

“Get ready to die.”

-Sudden content?

-lol the buildup is crazy

-Just these two being themselves lol

-NoName and Adella combo is unstoppable.

-Let’s go

[system: Adella has changed the broadcast title.]

[Adella Ch.]

[Falling Guys – Part 2) Human(Adella) vs AI(NoName)]

[Broadcast time – 2:49:32]

[Viewers – 25084]

“Why am I the AI?”

“Obviously you’re the AI and I’m human! A cold-blooded person like you can’t be recognized as human by this Adella. Never!”

“Oh?”

I smiled brightly.

[Adella has invited you to ‘Falling Guys’. Y/N]

A posture that may fall but never submits.

Adella, you’re my favorite type of punching bag.

* * *

“Why isn’t this one-on-one?”

“Who plays a boring one-on-one game? Scared? Die if you’re scared, hehe.”

“Alright, let’s do this.”

Falling Guys.

A game where 40 players compete individually through multiple rounds until only one survivor remains.

The most representative round is a race to cross the finish line.

Adella was quite clever.

Since she wasn’t confident in winning fair and square based on skill alone, she brought in outsiders.

It’s nearly impossible to fully demonstrate your skills in a room where all 38 players are stream snipers.

Especially wearing this chubby penguin costume.

Waddling-

This… makes movement too slow.

“Catch NoName!”

“Give me a hug, NoName!”

“Wow, I’m a fan!”

These people seemed to have no intention of winning the game.

They rubbed against me from all directions, grabbing my body to slow my progress.

“Hehe, blame your popularity, NoName sis! I’ll just go ahead… KYAAAA GET AWAY!”

The problem was that Adella was in the same situation.

“The tail! Let me see the tail!”

“Aren’t you guys racing? Let go of the tail!”

Numerous penguins, ducks, monkeys, and red pandas grabbed her tail and wouldn’t let go.

This wasn’t a battle of skill.

It was a battle of luck—who had fewer stream snipers attached.

[FAILED!]

In the end, both of us fell without even passing the first round.

“Is this the only game you prepared for today?”

“Yep. It’s more fun with viewer participation.”

It was too late to back out now.

Viewers naturally prefer participation.

“What’s the next game you prepared?”

“There is no next game.”

“Then?”

“We’ll just keep playing this until we determine a winner.”

This is the content you prepared?

Just one game?

“You deserve to be criticized by viewers.”

“Whyyy…!”

“YuDex composes new songs daily, analyzes movie and drama OSTs, and recently started learning guitar, but you didn’t prepare anything.”

Adella was speechless.

She couldn’t deny it herself.

Even when I do lecture broadcasts, I at least outline what topics I’ll start with and end with…

No wonder Adella has fewer followers than her fame would suggest.

“Step it up, Adella. And there’s a way to win at Falling Guys.”

No matter how much luck factors into a game, there are always loopholes.

[Round 1]

[Go!]

As soon as the game started, stream snipers rushed toward me.

Like a zombie horde.

I quickly climbed up a horizontal bar to take shelter and activated the global chat megaphone.

“I’ll gift one subscription to everyone who goes and interferes with Adella. I won’t give any to those who interfere with me.”

“Hey! Bribery is cheating!”

“Hey? Did you just say ‘hey’ to your sister? I’ll give one more subscription for each tail hair plucked from Adella.”

-LMAOOOOO

-Wow, free subscriptions for viewer participation!

-I wasn’t going to join but after seeing this I immediately got in my capsule lol

-Next stream sniping is gonna be intense lol

-Let’s go make a bald cat!

“Wait, everyone! NoName is lying. She won’t give them out after the game ends!”

[DuckCat: I believe in NoName lol]

[rollking: How dare a human challenge an AI?]

[lIllIlIIl: If a streamer doesn’t prepare content, they deserve punishment lol]

[AdellaFlatEarth: Come here, let’s teach you a lesson.]

“You ungrateful bunch…”

“Let’s give you a proper winter coat shedding, kitty.”

* * *

[Streamer Gallery]

[Live coverage of NoName vs Adella battle lolololol]

It’s turning into a resource war.

The bribery rate has gone up to 10 subscriptions per person lol

[Comments]

-It’s a shrimp party in a whale fight!

-Is this the trickle-down effect?

-Even Adella is no match for NoName.

-NoName is a content genius…

-But this seems like a money-losing content no matter how you look at it lol

-Just a chicken game lol

Subscription offers went from 3 to 5, and from 5 to 10.

At this rate, they might spend millions of won on a single game.

Adella, who had recklessly raised the stakes like a gambling addict, finally came to her senses.

NoName’s money was needed to create her physical body in the future.

‘Is it right to waste it like this?’

Shaking her head-

Adella changed the direction of her bribery bait.

“Anyone who joins my side now! Let’s go to VR Desireland together next week!”

Adella’s joint date announcement!

This wouldn’t cost her money.

But for some fans, this was much more valuable than subscriptions, and some fans’ eyes went wild.

However, NoName wasn’t one to just sit back and watch.

The obsession created by this embodiment of competitiveness was beyond imagination.

“If you come to my side, I’ll give you a hug.”

“Haha, you think that’s enough?”

“…In real life.”

[DuckCat: Real life?]

[rollking: A fan meeting?]

[lIllIlIIl: Wow, it’s been so long… wooow…!]

[AdellaFlatEarth: Sorry Adella lol honestly if it’s NoName, you’d understand too, right?]

“No, don’t, don’t listen, don’t go. Manager, at least you should respect me!”

[AdellaFlatEarth: Hehe… sorry… lol!!]

Adella, even NTR’d by her manager, was crushed under the sea of avatars.
